Not many people knew about this but Waqar Younis was a Javelin thrower in his early teens & was always A Top Class Athlete. His run up, slingy action always meant to be a Superfast Pacer, with his Muslim Jat well built body & tenacious warriorlike attitude, he ruled the cricket world along with Wasim. Bowling in lifeless deadflat pitches & hard soil of Pakistan molded them to be super fast bowlers. Not reling on pitch or conditions made Pakistani bowlers mentally tough & they indeed dominated World Cricket in Mid 80s till mid 2000s. Waqars run up was a sight to behold. Threatened every batsman, though his record against India was avg.
That's true waqar record against India is average simply because he didn't play a single test game against India during his prime e.g 1990-1995... even in 1999 he played few test games against India when he had already lost his pace & venom...
@@saqibhussain9907 But he debuted against India along with Sachin Tendulkar & Sachin had a dream start to his international career against the mighty Pakistani bowling attack.
From 1990 till 1994, Waqar Played 121 international matches and picked up 344 Wickets at an average of 19.77 & Strike Rate of 32.4 with the help of 26 5fers and 4 10fers. No other Player had an average of Under 20 and Strike Rate of under 40 and no one else managed to pick more than 15 5fers and 3 10 fers during this period. Second best in this list was Waseem Akram with 295 Wickets. Second Best Test Average for Asian Pacer in Asia min 100 Wickets (20.64) Second Most Wickets as "Clean Bowled" in OdIs (151 among the 416 wickets) Highest % of wickets as LBW compared to any other bowler, who has taken at least 200 test wickets. Waqar took 110 wickets out of 373 wickets as LBW , which is around 29.50 % in 87 test matches he played. In year 1990, Waqar picked 47 wickets in 19 matches at average of 12 and SR of 20!!. Waqar took 5 five-fers in that year, An untouched world record till today. He actually took 5 five-fors in span of 7 matches. 5 fifers and 1 four fer in 8 matches. No paceman in the history of cricket has ever had such an ODI Run.
I watched most of the matches from 1986 to 2004 live. After that I have no time. Waqar Younis was super fast and his yorkers were treat to watch. Still remembers most of the matches.
I was the one who has followed his action during my teenage...... In fact I was bowling really well in his action......... Those days..... Great& lovely memories
Kid both waqar and wasim were well past their prime in 2000s. Imagine a young waqar of 1990 before his back fracture, bowling alongside a young wasim and shoaib at full pace.. wow would be treat to watch and by the way wasim used to open the bowling for Pakistan and sometimes waqar and sometimes shoaib shared the new ball with him
That ball of Waqar that got the great Lara clean bowled was the most remarkable ball of my childhood, I rate it higher than Wasim's world cup magic against England n Shoaib's beauties against Sachin n Dravid, as it was Waqar that glorified a long runup that even inspired Shoaib and many fast bowlers from Pakistan to copy him, a true magician. Ball of the century.
I always tried to bowl like Waqar the slingy rock back type action I always found it better to run in with the ball in my left hand allowing for a natural rotation
The pitches in Pakistan have always been pretty much the same. Flat due to the climate. Waqar,Wasim and Shoaib used to rattle the stumps at 150 kmph while the Pakistan bowlers of this generation lose the match after bowling at an average speed of 125 and then blame the pitch.
I know I know it was cheating because others couldn't do it but now when English, Australian bowlers learnt it, is has become a skill. Same old whining. If you have figures bring them up otherwise admire his skills and don't try to be an a**hole.
If he is playing in today's era , he is just a bowler with good speed .. now ball don't reverse, batsman and their bats are more powerful.. now he will be thrashed like haris rauf 😂😂
mery khyal sa tum abi bachy ho, is liye tum nai maloom, idr sirf reverse swing ki bat ho rhe hai, but he was a complete package, beta ja kr sab matche dekh kr ao, phr bat krna
Hey Cricket Lovers🏏, Who is your favorite of the 2 Ws: Waqar Younis or Wasim Akram?
Great imran Khan
WAQAR YOUNIS
@@CricketStories007 Both
Wasim Akram
Akram is better but Waqar was not far behind. He doesn’t get talked about enough. He should rank among the best all-time.
Not many people knew about this but Waqar Younis was a Javelin thrower in his early teens & was always A Top Class Athlete.

many people also don't know he used to smoke weed.
In my opinion, one of the best bowlers to watch in history. I loved his action. Respect from Australia.
During his prime time before his shoulder injury no other bowler was better than Waqar, unplayable
exactly
Absolutely Right
Agreed
From 1990 till 1994, Waqar Played 121 international matches and picked up 344 Wickets at an average of 19.77 & Strike Rate of 32.4 with the help of 26 5fers and 4 10fers.

Second Best Test Average for Asian Pacer in Asia min 100 Wickets (20.64)

Highest % of wickets as LBW compared to any other bowler, who has taken at least 200 test wickets. Waqar took 110 wickets out of 373 wickets as LBW , which is around 29.50 % in 87 test matches he played.

No paceman in the history of cricket has ever had such an ODI Run.
I have not seen anyone uprooting more wickets than waqar. He was just a beast.
Yes
Waqar younis in this peak best actually still holds the record of most five wicket hauls 13
yess
His SR before his 2nd stress fracture was below 40. Phenomenal!!!
Yes
I watched most of the matches from 1986 to 2004 live. After that I have no time. Waqar Younis was super fast and his yorkers were treat to watch. Still remembers most of the matches.
One of the best
I have tromendous respect for the legends ie Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis
I was the one who has followed his action during my teenage...... In fact I was bowling really well in his action......... Those days..... Great& lovely memories
Well said those were the days....golden days..even i used to immitate his style and i did it successfully....bowled many of my friends
Same here brother
Pakistan bowling attack in early 2000 was lethal . Just imagine Waqar & Shoaib as opening bowler and Wasim Akram used to come as first replacement!!
yeah
Kid both waqar and wasim were well past their prime in 2000s. Imagine a young waqar of 1990 before his back fracture, bowling alongside a young wasim and shoaib at full pace.. wow would be treat to watch and by the way wasim used to open the bowling for Pakistan and sometimes waqar and sometimes shoaib shared the new ball with him
Not many people of this generation know the class of Waqar Younis
Yes
Even Shoaib Akhtar was called Rawalpindi Express because Waqar was called Burewala Express way before Shoaib's career started.
02:03 RECKY PONTING gone superb bowling Waqar
Yeah🔥
That ball of Waqar that got the great Lara clean bowled was the most remarkable ball of my childhood, I rate it higher than Wasim's world cup magic against England n Shoaib's beauties against Sachin n Dravid, as it was Waqar that glorified a long runup that even inspired Shoaib and many fast bowlers from Pakistan to copy him, a true magician. Ball of the century.
🔥true

Waqar Younis is one of my favourite fast bowlers
one of the best in the world
I always tried to bowl like Waqar the slingy rock back type action I always found it better to run in with the ball in my left hand allowing for a natural rotation
Ig every 90s kid tried this
He is my Favourite fast bowler than Wasim Akram,Ambrose, Anderson, Styen, Cummins and Bumrah
🔥
What the hell??? As a Pakistani who grew up watching him, I NEVER knew he only had 9 fingers 😮
The difference between fast bowling duo.
Waqar Younis + Wasim Akram = Magicians!
Curtly Ambrose + Courtney Walsh = beasts!
True🔥
Make video about Josh Hazelwood(mordern day megrath) brother .. Who is overshadowed by starc and Cummins
Will soon work on him. Thanks
Correction: Before Lara was bowled out with that deadly yorker, he had hit two boundaries and a double (instead of three consecutive boundaries).
One of the greatest bowler world has ever seen.
Toe Crusher.
🔥yeah
Waqar Younis is a versatile cricket bowler. He took 300 test wickets and 300 ODI wickets.
Yup
The pitches in Pakistan have always been pretty much the same. Flat due to the climate. Waqar,Wasim and Shoaib used to rattle the stumps at 150 kmph while the Pakistan bowlers of this generation lose the match after bowling at an average speed of 125 and then blame the pitch.
Yeah
Wasim has a good PR team and therefore you see more of Wasim Videos on TH-cam as compared to Waqar..
At his prime waqar was the best bowler to walk on earth
Pace bowling partnership of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis by Steve Irungu Jermaine
Took fewer wickets once every countries commentators looked for ball tampering and also once the ball had to be inspected after every over.
I know I know it was cheating because others couldn't do it but now when English, Australian bowlers learnt it, is has become a skill. Same old whining. If you have figures bring them up otherwise admire his skills and don't try to be an a**hole.
One of the greatest
Yeah
He was the king
Great information brother.......
Thanks bro

Thanks for the feedback
Lethal pace armed with reverse swing .He was unplayable at his prime !

If pakistani held their catches , probably a 500 + wickets
Probably the best fast swing bowler I’ve seen in my life
Excellent bowler ❤🫡
He is a legend
